Description
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are elusive objects that may represent the link between stellar-mass (BHs) and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The current scarce observational evidence of IMBHs in the mass range 10^3-10^4 Msun leads to a natural question, are IMBHs a real category of BHs or, rather, do they represent exceptionally massive stellar BHs and light SMBHs?
In this talk, I will show how ET can place constraints on the mass spectrum of IMBHs and deliver crucial insights into the processes that regulate IMBH formation.
